Llanfihangel-yng-Ngwynfa () was a parish within the former historic county of Montgomeryshire. It now forms a major part of the community of Llanfihangel in Powys, which covers an area of 5,366 hectares (20.72 sq mi).[1] Its Community Council extends to take in Dolanog and Llwydiarth, having approximately 413 registered voters (as at 2012).[2] The parish originally consisted of the following townships: Cefncleisiog, Cydwnfa, Dolwar, Fachwen, Farchwell, Fynnonarthwr, Garthucha, Halfen, Llaethbwlch, Llwydiarth, Nanty-Candy, and Rhiewlas. Dolanog seceded from Llanfihangel in 1856.[3]
Poet and hymnwriter Ann Griffiths (1776–1805) was born in, and is buried, in this place.[4]
